This is the shocking moment an adult encourages a fight between two girls at a bus stop by screaming 'hit her, it's after school you can't get in trouble'.

Distressing footage shows the middle-aged woman appear to restrain the smaller girl and force the taller girl to hit her repeatedly in front of a dozen other students.

The victim's mother, Irina Lizarraga Acuna, says she is appalled by the actions of the woman and points the finger squarely at her for the despicable attack outside of Turlock Junior High School, in Turlock, California last Friday.

Vicious: Distressing footage shows the middle-aged woman appear to restrain the smaller girl and force the taller girl to hit her repeatedly in front of a dozen other students

'In the video, you can see that the teenager doesn't even want to hit my daughter. She's being forced by her mom to hit her,' she told FOX40.

'You know, I'm not even mad, I can't be mad at the teenager. I'm mad at the mom. How could you force your daughter to hit someone else?

'It's horrible for a parent to watch that. It's awful. You feel really... I feel guilty, you know? I wish I would have been there to help her.'

Another student captured the fight on a cell phone video, which was later posted to Facebook.

Acuna said afterwards: 'I was just arriving to work. She called me crying that she needed my help.'

Acuna says the girl in the video had been picking on her 13-year-old daughter but says her daughter should not have confronted her earlier in the day - which lead to the altercation.
